hasn't been straightforward on the issues surrounding trade with northern ireland, and the republic of irelandeland, and the republic of ireland. so, i do think we need a bit of openness from the government, we forced them to release the document, we released them for them actually a week ago, which showed the access the us were demanding to public services and today, the news came out of what is happening with northern ireland, and... briefly for people who didn't hear the news what do you claim the documents show? they show there are going to be charges, there are going to be customs check, restrictions on trade between britain and northern ireland. thank you. boris johnson. that is not true. the whole of the uk comes out, england scotland wales northern ireland, we do free trade deals together. northern ireland is pa rt of deals together. northern ireland is part of the customs territory of the uk and we are united. i have to say i think it is a great opportunity for our country, and it says unfettered access is what it says. it say understand fettered access. that is what we want. one at a

.. lam emma vardy, the ireland correspondent for the bbc, covering northern ireland and the republic of irelandireland. right, has the election been a big deal in northern ireland? you know, sometimes what is going on in northern ireland and the election doesn't feature that much in the uk wide story because northern ireland has different parties, it's got its own brand of politics going on very much related to the troubles and the history of northern ireland. but this time round it is dramatically different because brexit hasjust added this extra level of complication. it has increased the bitterness between the two parties, and a real feature of elections in northern ireland this year is that there are these electoral pacts are being formed between parties, parties across the political spectrum stepping aside for each other, basically moving aside in one seat in return for another party stepping aside from them in another seat. it is all to maximise votes, unionist against nationalist, leave against remain, the so—called pro—remain alliance being formed and officially between parties here. so
